I got the wife an early wedding present, nice B/W GTS

[Junkie]

Well we are getting married in May, and I really just couldn't keep this from her anymore. A few weeks ago a friend of a friend put up his nice low miles GTS and I just couldn't stop looking at it. My Fiancee Lydia has had the poster of a B/W GTS on her wall since the mid 90's, its literally the only car she really ever lusts after. I've never seen someone so nuts over a car so I've always wanted to "eventually" get her one. Well, the time came sooner rather than later to get a good deal on a nice car, so thats her wedding present!

I thought this was cool, my 50k mile SW C5 Z06 and her GTS.

I was really nervous about giving it to her, but it went really well! She was shocked, happy, all the emotions you can really think of. Says it drives great and she loves everything about it! So I'm sure you guys will be seeing it at some local Viper functions. We've already ordered 19/20" Fikse's from Tony (9ball) for it and JonB got me some lowering caps, and other parts I wanted to change. Eventually it will most likely get a nice heads/cam setup and Gen3 or 4 intake manifold. As of now its bone stock!

She for sure knows the difference, but as far as I'm concerned she can just accept it and be happy lol

[Nine Ball]

That same car motivated me to finish college. I'm sure that car also has a special meaning to Lydia!

[Fatboy 18]

Awesome present, wishing you both the best for the future. :)

I sort of got my car as a wedding present, we were saving up to get married and I saw the car advertised, we spent the wedding budget on the car instead :D

[Ricketts]

Awesome gift, and nice car!

[GBS]

Are you sure you brought it for your future wife or for you! lol

[AZTVR]

Good to have connected with the kind of woman that would have that level of appreciation for a Viper. Pretty rare. Congrats to the both of you !

[Junkie]

I had a 97 GTS with twins, I actually hate they way they drive lol. I'm a Gen4/Gen5 guy!

[Martyb]

Damn, I got my wife a Rolex for our anniversary, felt like a baller. I cannot keep up with you big dogs!! Very nice gift, I hope she enjoys it. Beautiful car.

I love the way a Gen II drives. It's not something I take on long trips but its a great change or pace from my other cars.

[ACRSNK]

Hey I have that poster too!

Congrats!

[sonicbloo]

Congratulations, that's an amazing present. I'm doing exactly the same for my 20th anniversary present to my wife in May.

That's right, she's getting a poster of a Viper.

[Camfab]

Nice poster, great present, but those Yeti coolers are the best! ��

On a side note, why do I get that stupid double circle with question marks ever time I click on a smiley face!!

[Junkie]

Going into the shop on monday for some updates. Lowering caps, IPSCO shifter with shortened handle, upgraded radiator and fans, upgrading brakes, hopefully fixing the passenger door issue.

Wheels are still 6 weeks out, killing us!

[Camfab]

I'd like to get the IPSCO shifter. I'm curious how it will work with the shorter handle. I have the shorter MGW handle on the stock shifter. I like the handle, but shifting effort is much higher. It's kind of a compromise, not necessarily better.

Hope it already has a billet PS pulley and bracket...
